            <MadCap:keyword term="passwords;changing:login name;account on an FTP site;logging on" />Logging on with a user ID, password, 
 and/or account</h1>
        <p>
            <MadCap:keyword term="anonymous login" />To log on to an FTP site, you must identify yourself with a user ID 
 and password. For sites that allow anonymous logins, you can use the word 
 <span style="font-style: italic;">anonymous</span> as a user ID and an 
 e-mail address as a password. To test this, try connecting to the Ipswitch 
 FTP site (<span style="font-style: italic;">ftp.ipswitch.com</span>) using 
 the user ID <span style="font-style: italic;">Anonymous</span>.</p>
        <p>However, FTP sites that are not open to the general public, or that 
 allow you to upload files, usually require users to identify themselves 
 with a special user ID, password, and (sometimes) an account number or 
 name. FTP sites such as these are used for exchanging confidential files 
 within an organization, posting of personal Web pages, or storing photographs 
 for ads in on-line auctions.</p>
